Fun venue with excellent food and drink options, however, event planning staff and hotel staff have much room for improvement. In the end we had a great wedding, however, during the planning leading up to the wedding day, there was poor communication and a serious lack of attention to detail. We could not have pulled the event off without hiring our own wedding coordinator. Warning: if you are considering having your wedding here, be prepared for amateur service.
